| Linux users knows that most of the software they need is available
| online on the repositories (repo). You could just use the apt-get
| command to download and install automatically. Neo1973 also has
| this capability called the Application Manager that works similar
| to the apt-get function. Then your phone would be like a PC. You
| can upgrade your software or even the operating system. And you
| can share software with your friends.

| over anything, anytime, any day) and i cant wait to dig in and
| make some hacks and application for this smartphone. Enjoy the
| screenshots of the OpenMoko interface.
